See Chase has had his ban halved on appeal. Funny old world, innit?

ah but he's playing in a big game the following week and it wouldnt be fair to ban him for that (Isnt that line RFL usually come out with?)

I thought the whole incident was a bit strange. He didn't go in with the knees in the tackle but as he rose for the PTB he just dropped back down again, it was a bit surreal. Now we know why, ouch!!

I know it's the RFL but that's even strange for them. What was the ground for the appeal given that he has pleaded guilty to the charge? Surely even the RFL could not accept someone appealing because the punishment was too harsh

Presumably the appeal was against the severity of the sentence rather than the guilty verdict.
